Unit advertised as 240W, I needed 100W so thought even if it supplies half of rated output, it's good enough for my needs.Have tested it up to 120W no trouble, unit sits at about 60-70°C. Input power is about 150W at 120W out.Looked at DC output on Oscilloscope, very smooth and noise free (forgot to check input rail).

Draws 45mA at idle with nothing connected. This may be significant for some.

Pretty sure it will do what I bought it for, if it fails I will update review.

- the female adapter is great for using all those DC power adapters you have lying around and are very difficult to connect otherwise.- the male one is great to power the devices with the DC power jack by using batteries or bench power supply- build quality is very good

Either get one of these pairs or buy female and male adapter packs separately since they save loads of time for anyone doing DIY projects with DC power

A small PC wich has the advantage to set fixed voltages wich become handy in Ohm-resistant situation if you want to get a good controll over the current.The dipswitch works good if you know how to handle it.

This last point can be solved by giving a firm overvoltage (within the range of the converter)Because the energyconversion is high efficient, these units are much better than the 78XX (or 79XX)wich converts overvoltage only in thermal enery (they become hot )These kind of converters do normaly not use extra cooling (convection is enough) unless the differece beween input and output volage is big and/or the current, drawn from the converter reacht to the maximum, it is no good idea to rely on the thermal/current protection, other parts or instability can be damaged, capacators (elco's) have a much shorter shelflife when they heat up, their value changes above the limits and they can ruin anythingin line of it....

Not the cheapest and not the smallest DX converter but certainly one of the most reliable....
